The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 14.99m; Wth 1.4m; D 0.05m) is orientated NW-SE and consists of irregularly laid, mixed brushwood. These are very sparsely deposited but this may be due to exposure, which has left the site in an extremely poor condition. A degraded metal-cut wedge point is present. This site lies in moderately humified fen peat with Sphagnum and a high amount of unidentified reeds.
